Shadow Play

This is a Photo series I shot exploring shadow play, I’m obsessed with heavy shadows and high contrast. I don’t know if it’s because of my love for all things sultry or due to a weird peter pan obsession but I really have a thing for shadows and silhouettes.

Here we played with artificial lighting and various reflectors to create the super sultry and feminine ambiance in this series.

When doing makeup for photography it is so important to think about the lighting being used and work with colours and textures that are going to stand out in the photos. It’s crazy because often photographic makeup will look like intense “cake face” in person but it’s all so it stands out with the lighting being used.

I am 100% trigger happy I will take 10+ frames just to get my one perfect frame but I’m just comfortable shooting that way. It makes final photo selection that much easier, well that’s my excuse anyway.

I’d love to one creative direct on somebody else’s photo shoot. I love being behind the camera but I find all the behind the scenes work so interesting. Building a set, hair, make up, puling fabrics and pieces to style with… Just realised how super girly I sound. So I’m going to stop right there and remember I grew up a tomboy. Never thought I’d end up gushing over prints and textures.

Who am I? I find myself often answering this question with the opening line ‘loving mother of two…’ Truth is yes I am a mother of two beautiful girls however this is neither my job role or description. I guess it’s just the ‘go to’ answer once you have children i don’t know whether it’s because of the overwhelming love you feel towards your kids or just because of feeling guilty or judged for not mentioning them.

I don’t know, either way I am Felicia-Juliana a lover of all things art, self-confessed makeup junkie and fashion enthusiast with a mean eye for photography. In ways i am your typical girly girl minus the close-knit group of female friends. However I do have two sisters I am extremely close to… who needs friends when you have family I guess.

Starting this blog is an outlet, a little me time in this hectic life of mine, so be prepared for complete and utter randomness, sincerity and rawness I am disgustingly unpolitically correct so if your open to all of that sit back enjoy the ride.
